Chapter 22, Problem 22.54E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation ${\text{CH}}_{\text{4}}+{\text{O}}_2+\_\_\_{\text{NAD}}^{+}\to {\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}+\_\_\_\text{NADH}+\_\_\_{\text{H}}^{+}$ is to be balanced and the number of electrons transferred to $\text{NADH}$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The full form of ${\text{NAD}}^{+}$ coenzyme is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme in which two nucleotides are joined together by a phosphate groups. It carries electrons from citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain.
